Large, or small?
Care For A Serving, Eh?
(sonnet #MMMMMMMMMDCIV)
Tis five days into Autumn and we'll thence
Put Peter on the wide-screen to avail
Us of his where 'bouts as he hides, like bail
Is being quite out of sight, as if defense
Was easy when you live with us: pretense.
The breakfast hash at long last with to scale
Yes, spicy sausage (called for), which detail
Can render it as edible?! Ah, whence?
Try scrambled, cheesy scallions on as twere
Rye toast, Brioche toast just for taste, the two
Would try to lick the butter off in tour,
And Noosa yogurt raspb'rry flavourd to
Round off that cue, ornge as the cherry, poor
As late, erm, breakfast, LORD, save us, won't You?

[Don't ask me whence this is; I had an idea and writing derailed my plans as it unfolded itself.]
Got A Cellphone, Baby?
(sonnet #MMMMMMMMMDCIII)
Barbed-wire topped chainlink fencing that detail
Which I erst owned a healthy erm, good sense
And sheer respect of, as thus hiding thence
The grandest secrets, barring all sans bail
From, like a covert for who knows to scale
What, now for years passe, I wonder hence.
Roll "prison" 'cross yer tongue because defense
Is gone, and freedom likewise, what'd avail?
George Orwell, like the prophets 'fore him'd tour
This future we move in, because he knew
What lay ahead, though he'd not taste as twere
Its measures, cloaking aught from plainer view
By metaphors, oh how bereft and poor
Are we that none, oh LORD, dare call on You?

You know?
It's Funny How Things Go
(sonnet #MMMMMMMMMDCV)
I dallied on the fence two years, to scale;
Was that too long, and folly? Givn from thence
My old request where I agreed fr'intents
I wanted it, why am I fat sans bail?
Cicadas throb within the evning's hale
Warmth, as the golden light yields to the dense
Grey shadows swall'wing all we knew, suspense
Mair subtle in this calm, til what'd avail?
Did Robert say he'd come? Tis off. Was't poor?
We have this night unto ourselves anew,
The kittens quite content. I am as twere
Resolved to thus forget and joy, nor rue,
Yet how it bugs me. I'm too hot. Bestir
Thy mercies, LORD, redeem us now, won't You?

Another good set of sonnets well done Chic
Missy, your trio here is a playful stroll through three very different rooms in your poetic house...one serving up cheeky domestic flavor, one tightening the Orwellian wire, and one leaning into quiet evening musings. I always love how your voice carries across shifts in tone, threading humor, reflection, and prayer together. Beautifully done. 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦⬛
Thank you so very much, you're sweet!
You are most welcome, my friend!
Is Peter now on the television!!, lovely set of reads, enjoyed
Only our wide-screen, I hope. Though, guess our neighbors could access it, if they chose. Thank you so very much!
So he's a star, you are very welcome, thank you for contributing to the fusion, enjoy the rest of your day
You likewise!
Thank you
You got this particular poetic genre perfectly sewn up Missy .. I've never dared to pen one, but my daughters middle name is spelt exactly the same .. Neville
Penelope is such a pretty name, especially since the future king's lovely consort favors Madam Chilvers' footwear. Thank you so very, very much.
Nicely said, I enjoy this read.
Lovely, that's nice to hear.
